Huw Bennett/ (Susso/HBQ)

Bassist and producer Huw Bennett, creates music inspired by, and directly sampling, the magnificent sounds of the Mandinka people, recorded during a recent trip to Gambia. Initially travelling with the aim of gaining perspective as a musician and to discover a new world of music first hand, Huw found himself humbled by such a welcoming community of artists, mostly belonging to the celebrated Susso and Kuyateh griot families. He ended up making an incredible album called ‘Keira’ with the recordings he made on his trip which was later released on Soundway records. Susso are now touring the UK with their new live show. We were so impressed with Huw’s selections when he guested on our radio show that we’ve asked him to compile a curated spotify playlist for your enjoyment.
